ARMY TEN MILER ANNOUNCES NEW ONLINE SERVICE PROVIDER
WASHINGTON, DC – The Army Ten-Miler has selected New York based
MarathonGuide.com to provide website and online registration services for
its 22nd annual 10-mile race in Washington, DC. The transition for
America's largest 10-mile road race is expected to be seamless and offer
streamlined programming and registration services to race participants. A
new website, targeted to roll out on April 3, 2006, will introduce
an updated look, easier navigation, and new features of interest to
runners. "We anticipate runners will be pleased with the new features and
improvements that we are making to our website, registration, and team
management," remarked Jim Vandak, Race Director.
Teams can look forward to an updated Team Tools function to make it easier
for captains to register teams, manage team rosters, and make team changes.
Another improvement will feature a new online volunteer registration tool.
Volunteers can now register for a specific volunteer activity and shift.
Volunteer team leaders will also have the ability to manage their volunteer
group online.

one of the leading running events in the USA and MarathonGuide.com is one
of the leading website and registration providers. We look forward to
